Oooh La la!

Guess what??

A really adorably awkward girl got asked to Homecoming!!!

{and though she'll admit she was perfectly fine with not going, it was kinda always on her high school bucket list}

Aw! Just so cute!

{Don't I look like such a queen in my comfy attire?}

I'm pretty darn excited!!!

Now I just have to figure out a way to answer him!

{and there was also Junior Mints in the box. My favorite candy ever. This boy is pretty smart}

Farewell

It's happening. 

Quinton's getting ready to go on his mission. He leaves Wednesday.

And I'm not ready.

But he's going to be amazing.

I just know it :)

I survived

I did it.

The first week of my senior year is done and guess what?

It was pretty dern easy. 

No joke. I flew through all my classes, confident as a sunflower in the sun.

It felt good. No crying in the bathroom, no spending lunch alone, no awkward silences.

Zip.

This year is going to be amazing and wanna hear something silly?

It doesn't even feel like I'm a senior. It probably won't hit me until I put on that cap and gown.

Maybe not even then. 

But when I saw my bestest friend, Mel, we ran to each other and hugged really tightly cause wanna hear how   good of friends we are?

We hadn't seen each other for a whole month!

Yikes.

But nothing had changed. Still the sweet, adorable best friend I knew :)

So now I'm just sitting here, listening to the rain and perusing {fun word!} the internet and I decided to hop on over to one of the cutest bloggers ever!

Jadyn Maree!

Sooo adorable. And I love this post about boys, because I felt the EXACT same way. I didn't feel like I was good enough, but reading her words gives me hope that I'm not the only one. And funny thing is, I thought she was quite possibly THE cutest Mormon gal ever! She still is!

But I'll be posting some more pictures about my high school experience soon because guess what????

Kellie got a new camera!!! And holy Georgia its flippin gorgeous!!! :D

Here's To

here's to the best summer I've ever had.

here's to the laughter and smiles

the kisses and long talks.

here's to laying in the warm grass and watching the clouds roll by

the sun shining on my skin, the screaming on roller coasters and the funnel cakes

here's to watching the stars come out and telling secrets, talking about the future.

playing on the playground like little children, watching the fireworks light up the sky.

blisters on our hands and paint on our faces. Swimming suits and flip-flops and sunscreen.

here's to wiping away the tears and giving long hugs. t-shirts and jeans. The warm summer nights, the crickets making a symphony and the trees swaying in the wind. 

Sitting in the concert hall, watching with wide eyes.

Driving in the truck, windows rolled down and the music blasting. Here's to singing at the top of our lungs and shattering glass :) 

Here's to your voice being the soundtrack of my summer. Every moment was an adventure.

Here's to the best summer I could have ever hoped for.

Only Taylor Swift

Honestly.

She's just rocks.

I would have loved to shout this song out my car window

to a certain someone who is an idiot and ever thought I was gonna come back.

Girl power!

Summer Song

{i'm gonna change these lyrics around a little. see if you can guess which song this is}

When you think of Relient K

I hope you think my favorite song, the one we danced to all night long

The moon like a spotlight on the lake

When you think happiness

I hope you think that little lace dress

Think my head on your chest and my old faded blue jeans

When you think Relient K

I hope you think of me :)

what can I say? I'm a sucker for cute love songs :)

Defying Gravity

So seeing Wicked at the Capitol Theater was ah-mazing!

Such a magical night. It was everything I dreamed it would be.

And I may or may not have cried at the opening and closing song.

Eight. Eight years I had waited to see that play. Ever since fourth grade I've listened to the soundtrack and dreamed of the day I would see it. And one special guy helped that come true.

He's so awesome.

What guy will sit through a play?

An awesome one.

The wait was totally worth it. It was such a great story line and terrific acting. It makes so much more sense when you hear the dialogue in between the songs.

It was pretty wicked :)

Set

oh lanta.

what have I gotten myself into?

I'm doing marching band again this year and oh my,

my legs, butt, arms, abs {the lack thereof} and everything else are sore. so very sore.

but it feels good. I'm getting back into the habit. but it's kinda bad.

{if you don't know how marching band works, its pretty much like dancing while playing an instrument, and I have to make it to a certain position in a set amount of counts}

so while I'm walking back to my car after practice {which, mind you, I'm out in the sun for about five hours}

i start counting my steps in my head.

ridiculous.

I've gone loony. :)

cheerio!

Handprints On My Heart

And I'm going to get my chance :)

I'm so excited to see this!

Especially with the amazing people I'm going with!
